For her services to psychology in Jamaica and globally.
Professionally, Dr. Morgan worked as a clinical psychologist at the University of the West Indies and the University Hospital of the West Indies, before moving into private practice and consulting work. At the national level, she was key to developing organized psychology in her country of Jamaica, serving as a longstanding and influential President of the Jamaican Psychological Society (JamPsych). At the regional level, she has served in leadership roles in the Caribbean Alliance of National Psychological Associations (CANPA), with a particular focus on professional practice and standards. Globally, she has been an active and engaged member of the Global Psychology Alliance (GPA) and has participated in key initiatives such as PsychSolutions.
Dr. Morgan has paid special attention to preparing the next generation of leaders, for example, sending two mentees to GPA’s Learning Leadership Institute and mentoring JamPsych’s current President.
For her unique contributions to the development of psychology, I am pleased to present Dr. Kai Morgan with this Presidential citation.
